It looks like you have a single 2.5" hard drive bay.

That means you have a couple options - either you could go with a large hard drive that has a cashing option, like what's already in there, OR you can put in an SSD. You don't have room or the connections to have both, though, so you have to pick whether you want speed and huge battery life, or huge storage and a little more heat and noise.

From what I can find it appears that your computer has an mSATA SSD but it does not appear to be easily accessible. Do you have a removable access cover for the mSATA SSD? their is a cover for the HDD and memory their is a chance the mSATA SSD is under the HDD but I do not know. Can you see the 24GB SSD as a separate drive? as stated above you can install a 256GB SSD. You will need to completely reinstall windows after you replace the mSATA SSD you will also need to find out how the SSD is being configured by the system you will need to disable the cashing of the HDD by the SSD and make the SSD become a stand alone drive. you can then install your OS and programs onto the SSD. I have no access to a computer like yours and you would likely need to change your UEFI settings to change the way the system uses the drive/ drives. Your computer may not have the settings available to make this work. You will need to play around with your computer and UEFI settings to figure out if it can be done first. Ensure you have recovery media and that you back up your data before you start trying to figure out if you have the settings available in your UEFI to make this happen. if you can get your computer to a point where you have a 24GB Disk and another disk the (HDD) as C:& D: and you can install windows (only) directly onto the SSD with the HDD removed and the computer works fine you should be good to go to purchase the larger SSD. you also need to find the mSATA in your system. I could not find any pictures of a teardown online so it will be on you to figure out how to get it apart.

Can you give me a link of a store or a review for: 1TB HDD with 24 GB SSD inside it (not separate)?

Sure thing - Seagate calls them SSHDs.

Basically they just use a lot more internal NAND as cashing storage, meaning that the data accessed more often is stored in the flash memory for quicker retrieval.

guys, I have a s550cb and I can confirm that the mSATA port but the problems are twofold:
1) you have to remove the entire back (not very hard, just a little boring due to a number of screws)
2) the mSATA port supports cards court and not "normal" by inserting the set screw to secure it to the motherboard (sorry English, is google that helps me)
